Anyone travelled the
Border Track recently?
We're looking for a more interesting option than the bitumen, on our way from
Geelong to
Mildura late this month, and thought we might give it a try. We've previously spent some time in the National Parks along the way (Wyperfield, Murray-Sunset,
Big Desert), so familiar with the general area.
Border Track looks like it may be a bit similar in terrain to Googs in South Aus, which we enjoyed at a similar time of year.
I believe we'll have to detour around one section though, as it is North>South only.
Any relevant/recent observations appreciated.
Thanks

G'day Wildmax,
Have not done the
border track for a while but watch the weather as rain makes the claypans VERY slippery. Still pretty dry out here & last week accessed our bush block out that way & the claypans were ok. Due to the long dry spell the sand on our access track was pretty chopped up.
Not sure when you leave
home but a bit of rain is forecast in the next few days.
You are correct about one section being North to South.
We love the Vic "Outback" so enjoy.
Cheers
Stu
